People go all out when it comes to this stuff, apparently.

Changed at 3000 miles. Just drive easy before your first oil change.

Full synthetic 0W-20 from the factory.

Always have and always will change @ less than 1000 miles, and every 2k-3k max miles after that

I've met people who devote their life to Mobil 1 products. No matter what science brings better stuff.

I paid to have mine done at 9xx miles the dealership thought I was crazy but they couldnt get my car into reverse.......

I figured for as cheap as it was its cheap insurance.

I'll do my first at 1000, next at 5,000 then every 5,000 thereafter. Just trying to decide what oil to use, thinking amsoil if it's not too bad on price.

I do, beat my last engine to death and never had a failure after 152,000 miles

bone cold engine, 20 degrees outside rev to 4k, drop the clutch, race to work

did that every day i owned the car during both winters i owned it, summer i was MUCH harder running to 9800 rpm in 115F texas weather

I dont need science to tell me that oil works, every tear down i did to inspect things... 13 year old engine looked brand new, ran like new... ive ran into the next owner, almost a year after i sold it, same engine still running strong

im not saying all other oils are bad, i just wouldnt use them

not only is it full synthetic, it is actually really good oil according to the lab analysis many owners have had done on the break in oil.
